Mission 500 has named ADT as the winner of its annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) awards. “Every year Mission 500 recognises an individual and corporate entity for its outstanding contributions towards the betterment of society and mankind,” said Ken Gould, Chairman of the Board, Mission 500.
With a dedicated Week of Service and many events throughout the course of the year including Seasons of Service events around the holidays, ADT provides numerous opportunities for its employees to participate in community service. During the 2019 Week of Service, thousands of ADT employees and their families donated over 22,000 volunteer hours, impacting nearly 200 communities nationwide. In 2019, the company presented Lifesaver awards to 46 ADT employees who helped rescue customers from near-death experiences involving fires, carbon monoxide poisoning and other emergencies in the home. ADT also awarded $105,000 in grants in 2019 to more than a dozen police and fire departments that were involved in these events.
At ADT’s Corporate Headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, employees assembled 1,000 Care Kits for veterans and donated over 15,000 pounds of food as part of a food drive in November. Also, in 2019, ADT contributed $40,000 to the National Volunteer Fire Council and several volunteer departments to raise awareness and recruit more volunteer firefighters across America.
“Congratulations to the entire ADT family for their outstanding efforts and achievements by helping to improve the lives of so many and instilling hope for the future,” said Gould.
